* Amazing Spider-Man 657, particularly the last page, always has this troper in tears. This was right after [[spoiler: Johnny Storm's death]] and Peter's going to mourn with the ComicBook/FantasticFour. The whole comic alternates between being a tearjerker and a CrowningMomentOfFunny, but it ends on a particularly tearjerking note with [[spoiler: Peter watching Johnny Storm's video-will of sorts, in which Johnny not only gives Peter his spot on the team, but his spot in the Fantastic Four family.]]

It starts with Peter visiting Uncle Ben's grave on Christmas Day to have a chat with his ghost and wish him Happy Holidays, and it slowly slips into Peter sharing a recurring nightmare about finally being defeated by his foes, all interspersed with flashbacks of a seven year-old Peter freezing up on stage during a class play. Peter comes clean about all of the crushing fears and insecurities that he deals with every day when facing his Rogues' Gallery... and it gets all the more heartbreaking when Uncle Ben pointedly tells him, at one point, that he's not really there, and that Peter's just talking to himself. In the end, there's ''no one'' with whom Peter can be this honest about how much being Spider-Man scares him, but he still puts up with it every day, because, well... [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility it's his responsibility]].
* During the Gauntlet, Peter Parker was unemployed, cosmically divorced, and being battered by his classic enemies. The only good thing to come out of everything was that Aleksei Sytsevich, the Rhino, had married and reformed. When the new Rhino kills Aleksei's wife, Spider-Man desperately pleads and struggles in vain to keep Aleksei from becoming the Rhino again and is left with nothing but fear and loneliness when he fails.

** They piled it on stupidly thick in The Gauntlet. [[spoiler:Little Keemia screams at Spider-Man that she hates him.

She'd been snowing him into believing he had a daughter, even though it was no longer physically possible for him to have a child, and he'd become so obsessed with trying to be a good father that a part of himself had split off and killed them in order to get them out of the way without him even being aware of it. Spider-Man defeats him and gets the girl back, but because her grandmother (who had been her caretaker when Marko took her) admitted she wasn't watching the child when she was taken, CPS is putting her in the foster system, after Spider-Man had promised her she'd be with her family in order to make her go with him. Not knowing what happened to her mother, Keemia had thought her "father" was a good father, and so having lost everything as a result of leaving him, views Spider-Man as a liar and a thief.]]

* I don't know about the rest of you guys, but this troper can't watch the end of ''Film/{{Spider-Man}} 2'' without sniffling, where Doctor Octopus was taking apart the reactor, staring up at it, and saying "I will not die a monster." Doesn't help that one of the next shots is the reactor floating to the bottom of the sea, Doc Ock drifting slowly with it. Curse my soft spot for MadScientist-esque villains.
** For [[OddMostOdd this troper]], it was the bit where Peter collapses after stopping the train. "He's just a kid! No older than my son!"
*** The passengers sticking up for him when Ock comes back. "You wanna get to him, you gotta go through me."
** Right, well, this troper had been given explicit spoilers for ''Spider-Man 3'' concerning [[spoiler:Harry's death]], and she ''still'' cried the first time she saw it. And all but two times since.
** "I should never have hurt you. Said those things." "None of that matters Peter. You're my ''friend''....." "''Best'' friend." *Sniff!*
*** Say what you will about ''3'', but the scene of Sandman getting up in the silo gets me EVERY time. If the shot of him trying to grasp his daughter's locket doesn't do it, it's the music in the scene.
** I had a moment in the first ''Spider-Man'' when Norman [[spoiler:dies]]. "Don't tell Harry." ;___;
** [[spoiler: Norman's funeral]].
** In the second movie Aunt May and Peter visiting [[spoiler: Uncle Ben's grave]] and Aunt May saying "It wasn't fair for him to go like that. And it was all my doing." And later the scene where Peter tells her it was his fault that [[spoiler: Uncle Ben died]].
** In ''Spider-Man 2'', when Peter's glasses start to blur his vision again. For this troper, it was a really great scene, considering what was motivating his powers to come back.
** The third movie has the scene where Peter hits Mary Jane in his symbiote induced rage and his MyGodWhatHaveIDone reaction.
*** Peter and Harry, former friends, having the violent fight. [[spoiler: As well as when Harry shields Peter with his body and they make up finally at Harry's death scene]].
